Book Cover & Preview Text
About ten months after the death of my wife Tina in July 2007 I found the spiritualist church in Aberdare. When I walked through the doors of this church in the Saint John Ambulance hall I was almost ready to give up on life. The only thing that kept me going up until that point was the fact that I knew Tina had never left my side. She let me know in no uncertain manner that she would never leave me, and after not being able to sleep for the first few weeks after her passing something wonderful happened to me, Tina got into bed with me and cuddled up behind me. I was not allowed to see her, but I was allowed the feel her presence, giving me the help I needed, and allowing me to finally drift off to sleep. This didn’t just happen on one night but every single night for about four weeks, then on her last visit, she didn’t get into bed with me but kissed me goodbye for now. Tina got me through the worst of it and I’m not sure if I would still be here now without her love and support But her support didn’t end there because things were being moved around in my home, lights flickered on and off as did the TV, and I also heard her calling my name quite often. These things gave me hope and kept me going, and because of this I knew then that I needed to find out more about the afterlife, so that’s why I entered the spiritualist church for the first time. Within a few weeks they started a circle in the church which I was asked to join, and from that time on I haven’t looked back, and it wasn’t long before I started getting inspirational writing from spirit, and all these events happened so quickly that it has led me to believe that this was always meant to happen to me at this time in my life.

About the Book
The book itself is about the many incredible experiences Gareth has gone through since the death of his first wife, Tina, and the love she still has for him and the fact that she has never left his side. He knows whenever she is near him because he feels her presence and quite often hears her calling his name. The book tells about the grief and devastation of loss that we come to at a crossroads in our lives, where we are left with choices. Do we blame God and feel sorry for ourselves and our loss, or do we find God? Do we stay in the darkness, or do we find the light? This book is about a journey from the darkness into the light and the discovery that who we truly are is given freely from those who still love us in the realm we call heaven.
